A notablenine theHighveldstop courses

Highveld are generally allsuburban in nature: easilyaccessible and self-contained,with excellent clubhouse, pro-shop and practise facilities.

Apart from weekendcompetition days, which areoften reserved for members, allthe courses mentioned welcomevisitors. Dress codes are prettymuch of international standard.

The Gauteng province has inrecent years, along with othermajor metropolitan areas in theworld, attracted a glut of gatedgolf estates. Green fees may be atouch richer than at older clubs,but the quality of the goods iswithout peer. Such coursesattract far less traffic than theircounterparts, so a tee time cangenerally be obtained withouttoo much trouble.

In the modern style, newercourses generally hew a lotmore closely to the indigenousenvironment, so you can expectfar fewer giant trees and moreof the thorn, scrub, brush andnatural savannah grasses thatcharacterise the undevelopedreaches of the Highveld.

Many of the new-style greenshave taken their cue from whatappears to be the new JackNicklaus design standard.

Golfers playing on the Highveldwill quickly discover there g i o ns major attraction: thin,windless air that lets your ballfly a mile. And in the sunnyJune-July winter months, frostburns the kikuyu fairways to acrisp, allowing for lots of roll.The combination of highaltitude and tight lies makes forplenty of flattering drives,provided you keep the blastedthing straight off the tee.

Designers of golf courses inthe Joburg-Pretoria area havehad a hundred years to workout how best to counter thegrip-it-and-rip-it brigade. Oldercourses are lined with everyvariety of exotic tree.

The beauty of an old-fashioned layout is thatgreen keepers do not have togrow the rough to penalheights; the trees do a morethan good enough job of addingshots to the scorecard. Mostcourses in Gauteng store whatthey have pumped from theirown boreholes into dams.These hazards, along withfeeder streams, will be dottedall over the show, offeringmany opportunities for self-inflicted agony.

In a find that would have had P Diddy andhis cohorts fighting all way from Pretoria eastto this fine-looking Victorian village,C u l l i n a ns 3 106-carat diamond was discoveredin the side wall of an open pit in 19 0 5 .

The mine where the diamond was foundbelonged to the Premier Diamond MiningCompany and Thomas Cullinan was itschairperson thereby earningthe former bricklayer a 1910knighthood at the inaugurationof the Union of South Africa.
